SUPERBOWL SUNDAY

73 replies

Sweetish · 11/02/2024 22:46

I’m currently preparing some savoury delights, got the dips and nibbles already out, beer is chilling in ice. Have between 8-10 friends coming over (half don’t care for football, just coming for the ‘party’). I’ve booked tomorrow off work and I’m raring to get this party started.

If you watch, who are you supporting? I’m the 49ers all the way. 7 SuperBowl games, won 5, the odds are looking great.

HAVE FUN!

I may be delierious from extreme sleep deprivation with a baby but I really enjoyed Usher! Took me back to my youth!

BruFord · 12/02/2024 01:45

We’re supporting the Chiefs, so not looking great atm.

Our comment on Usher is that he’s done extremely well career-wise with limited musical talent.😂

Usher was fab! Great show

We've got all our friends & and kids' friends round for SB Sunday. We all loved the half time show. Fabulous

Wow you can say that again! He almost attacked Reid!

Getting a bit big for his boots with all the media attention?

Sweetish · 12/02/2024 01:49

Usher. Usher. Usher!

Let's get back to the real talent!

Also, the alcohol is flowing a little too well.
Little bit tipsy 👍🏼

yep I'd say so - that was outrageous.

KenAdams · 12/02/2024 02:06

Andy Reid is about 70, no excuse for that sort of behaviour at all.

AngeloMysterioso · 12/02/2024 02:22

I’ve never watched an American football game before- is it always this stop-start-y? As a rugby fan I’m finding it hard to get into, there doesn’t seem to be any flow or momentum at all.
Also I managed to time it so I fell asleep all through half time and DS3 woke up for a feed just as the 2nd half was kicking off. Although by the sounds of things Usher wasn’t worth staying awake for!

Margaritavillee · 12/02/2024 02:31

We’re watching! I have absolutely no idea what’s going on. DP is explaining everything to me but I’m here for Usher! Shaky start to the performance but then it picked up. Took me back to my teenage years!

Margaritavillee · 12/02/2024 02:31

In terms of snacks, we’ve got beer, pizza and hot wings 😁

crowgift · 12/02/2024 02:35

I really need to learn the rules before next year. So there's only 15 mins left is that right?

crowgift · 12/02/2024 02:36

@AngeloMysterioso yes the stop start is confusing me. I think knowing rugby is actually hindering my understanding.

Raspberrymoon49 · 12/02/2024 02:41

Am grappling with the rules and can’t tell who has the ball most of the time but loving it, come on 49ers

Sweetish · 12/02/2024 02:44

I got into American football back in the 90s and borrowed a book from the library and read the rules. Once you know what's going on it's pretty easy, but boy did it take a lot of reading to understand, I think I had that book reissued for 3 months or more.

I'm watching from Sydney - I loved the half time show. Usher on roller skates was brilliant!
I'm going for the Chiefs - am loving the Swift clan sightings in the celeb box!!

crowgift · 12/02/2024 02:49

right, I'll just have to apply myself and learn it up.

crowgift · 12/02/2024 02:53

err what happens if there's a draw?

Sweetish · 12/02/2024 02:56

If the score is still tied at the end of an overtime period — or if the second team's initial possession has not ended — the teams will play another overtime period. Play will continue regardless of how many overtime periods are needed for a winner to be determined.

aha lucky I don't have to work tomorrow

Raspberrymoon49 · 12/02/2024 02:59

So it doesn’t go to penalties? 🤣

Margaritavillee · 12/02/2024 03:01

I’ve got work in a few hours, beginning to feel quite sleepy. Eating more pizza to push through. My understanding is a little better now but I wish it didn’t stop start so much. Kind of hard to follow at times

AutumnCrow · 12/02/2024 03:04

I've just woken up, wide awake, so I'm joining you for the last bit.

Lizzieregina · 12/02/2024 03:04

2 minute warning!

It is a very stop starty game but the concept is pretty simple, although there are a million little rules.

I’ve been a fan for years, but when I asked someone to explain it to me, I was told it’s too complicated to explain 🙄. So I figured it out myself.
